The CC Bocce 2025 winter season has rolled its way to the end. League play ended on March 25 followed by our annual award banquet on Friday, March 28. As of the date of this writing, the Bocce Bandits are in the lead to win the season with their new captain Gene Cipriano. The next two teams trying to roll past the Bandits are the Goombas led by Sharon Boos and the Blazers with their new captain, Cyndy McDermott. The Rascals (Captain Mike Halpin), Delaware Destroyers (Captain Mary Anne Alicea), and Rock’n Rollers (Captain Ron Hopkins) are all working hard to roll to the top. So many teams are very close that we will have to wait until the final roll to determine whose team name goes on the trophy.

This year the CC Bocce Federation created a new award. It is called the Robert Smith Leadership and Service award. Last fall, our league lost a dedicated captain named Robert (Bob) Smith. He loved bocce and helped his team win multiple seasons. His love for the game helped the league and inspired many players. At our annual banquet we will announce the winner of the first person to win this award. There are so many dedicated players that we need to thank to ensure our courts, rules, and procedures are up-to-date so everyone can enjoy this sport at VCC. Look for the winter results and winners in the May edition
